We can argue for a lifetime about punishment versus policy
No, we can't. With all due respect I am a management consultant specialising in organizational development and change management for 20 years, before that a line manager in industry and with several qualifications in the field of psychology and social science. This type of stuff is my day job.

Why didn't they threaten our pilots in this manner not too long when they were going on a strike?

IMHO Mr Walsh has backed himself into a corner by making the removal of ST permanent, he now cannot back down for the sake of the other CC who turned up and put customers first.

BASSA have backed themselves into a corner and are now in deep trouble.
